Notes:
- ❗ Pseudomonas cattleyae is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Pseudomonas.
- 😷 The risk group for Belgium has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "plant pathogen - biological class of risk plant: 2". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "PP". — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "p". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 1 time in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
- 🧍 Plant pathogenic according to Bull et al. (2007). Publication: Bull CT, De Boer SH, Denny TP, Firrao G, Fischer Le Saux M, Saddler GS, Scortichini M, Stead DE, Takikawa Y. Comprehensive list of names of plant pathogenic bacteria, 1980-2007. Journal of Plant Pathology 2010; 92:551-592. 🇺🇸
- 🧍 Plant pathogenic according to Bull et al. (2012). Publication: Bull CT, De Boer SH, Denny TP, Firrao G, Fischer Le Saux M, Saddler GS, Scortichini M, Stead DE, Takikawa Y. List of new names of plant pathogenic bacteria (2008-2010). Journal of Plant Pathology 2012; 94:21-27. 🇺🇸
- 🧍 Because the type strain of Pseudomonas cattleyae (Pavarino 1911) Savulescu 1947 (Approved Lists 1980) is allocated to Pseudomonas avenae subsp. avenae Manns 1909 (Approved Lists 1980), Hu et al. 1991 propose Pseudomonas cattleyae (Pavarino 1911) Savulescu 1947 (Approved Lists 1980) as a later heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonas avenae Manns 1909 (Approved Lists 1980).
